Koeman: It's my dream to coach Barcelona

Koeman: Hajduk Split draw a real challenge

Everton will have to beat Hajduk Split to reach the Europa League group stage, a task Ronald Koeman knows will not be straightforward.

Ronald Koeman admits he has a lifelong ambition to become head coach of Barcelona.

The Everton boss is one of the names to have been linked with Camp Nou following the news that Luis Enrique will step down at the end of the season.

The former Netherlands star won four LaLiga titles and the European Cup during six hugely successful years with Barca, and although he remains committed to Everton, he would not hide the fact that a return to Catalonia would be "a dream".

"I'm flattered and pleased that they think about me," he told Sport.

"Everyone knows that I'm Barca, they know my love for a club where I grew up as a player and as a person.
